I've got a B & I Gem Maker for sale. SOLDIt has a couple of 8" wheels, but I'm pretty sure it's the 10" model. One "wheel" is a 1/2" thick steel backing plate that's pretty rusted. It can be de-rusted & used. There's a very fine Silicon Carbide wheel, probably 300 - 400 grit or so. It feels finer than a typical 220. It has the water feed cup, vise, & a pulley that was once mounted on the edge. It would guide the weight for the vise. I haven't done any work on it. I don't need it, nor do I need another project. As is typical, you'll probably need to replace the bushings. $100 It's in Cedar City, Utah, but I am going to Quartzite Jan 16-20. I will bring it with me if someone wants to buy it there. PM me if interested in any of these. I'm posting them in a couple other locations.
      I have a Kerr Centrifico brand centrifuge for casting. It will accommodate up to a 2 3/4" deep flask. SOLD$125     I have a Lortone tumbler base, no barrels or motor. SOLD I think this holds a 12-15lb barrel. The rubber tubing on the shafts is 8 3/4" long. The pulley is 12" diameter.
$40 Lynn

Oh snap ... day late, dollar short. Those old Craftsman units are amazing - I see them selling in the $250 range presumably with ok bushings. I have one that has all the original do-hickeys removed and was converted with a gear motor to a slow speed dry polishing lap and it is seriously the go-to finishing machine in my shop. NRG |

Had no idea the Gem-Makers were still so popular. I've never seen such good pictures of a complete unit before. We have one here that was missing most of the "original do-hickeys" when we got it. Having seen these pics, I might have a "new" project again.

I'm new to the forum and I purchased a B&I Gem Maker 6" unit. I'm looking for a manual for it but all I see on-line are the sketchy pdf manual sites. Anyone know where I can get a copy of the B&I, Craftsman, different size ok. They're basically all the same. Thanks!
